Mindset. Attitude. Culture. Rocket fuel for performance.

Someone is keeping your company from greatness. And they’re on the payroll.

A short introduction to glorious day and the inadvertent saboteur®

You’ve got the ambition. You’ve got the talent. You’ve got the ideas. You might even have the team… …And a plan… …And the budget

It’s time to meet the inadvertent saboteur®

There is an Inadvertent Saboteur® lurking inside your own and your colleagues’ personalities, and company culture.

He means to protect you, but he’s wearing an ammo belt packed full of your backfiring strengths that go off inexplicably at crucial moments.

COMMS BOMBS

Blowing apart meetings across the land, always lobbed into the decision-making process at the wrong time.

Reptile brain

The primal part of the brain is called ‘reptile’ for good reason- it’s like a wild animal defending its territory.

Multi-faceted

Janus, the two-faced, Roman god, alive and well today in organisations across the globe.

Teddy Bear

Comforts executives up and down the country. Ready to be thrown out of the pram at the first hint of a threat.

LOUD HAILER

To talk over others emphatically in meetings.

EGO MIRROR

Always on hand to reflect how great you and your ideas are. Look into it for long enough, and you can lose touch with reality entirely.

PIG-HEADED

100% effective.
100% efficient progress blocker.
100% justified.

He’s the fundamental reason that cuts through all others when it comes to explaining unfulfilled promise and unnecessary drama in the workplace.

He is why the effectiveness of some individuals lags consistently behind their talent and commitment. Why some teams seem unable to perform as the sum of their CVs. And why, sometimes, making even simple things happen – let alone commercial breakthroughs – is so inexplicably tough and draining.

If your results are falling short of your expectations and intentions on a regular basis, it’s a distinct possibility that your own and your colleagues’ Inadvertent Saboteurs® have got something to do with it.
